When being objective, we can transcend and look back at our constructs with powerful clarity; instead of looking through them, which can give a murky and distorted view.

You can't do clear observation if you ain't in the field. You can't be a pure observer if you're now in the field.

A good score should have a point of view all of its own. It should transcend all that has gone before, stand on its own two feet and still serve the movie. A great soundtrack is all about communicating with the audience, but we all try to bring something extra to the movie that is not entirely evident on screen.

An expert gives an objective view. He gives his own view.

Nothing's beautiful from every point of view.

An outsider's point of view is always handy.
